Coventry BS loyalty regular saver now pays 5.5% with a limit of £500 per month. The 7% quoted on page 1 must have been withdrawn.

The 7% Loyalty RS is listed as closed (NLA) 18/12/2023. So isn’t that the standard RS account?

Could someone please jog my memory, the Coventry home saver issue 1 regular saver, can you make multiple payments during a month as long as you don’t exceed the 1k max for that month. Or is it just one payment per month.

Multiple payments are fine

Multiple payments are fine, I’ve done this many times.

From T&C, multiple deposits are OK,

4.2 You can pay in as many times as you like during each calendar month, as long as the total amount you pay in doesn't exceed £1,000 per calendar month.

Don’t think it’s been previously mentioned here but I notice the West Brom Regular Saver is now available on-line. It used to be branch only. It’s only 6% but it is a fixed rate so if you think rates are going to fall it might be worthwhile. It’s a maximum of £250 per month and existing members or locals.

Being a keen collector of RS’s I’m thinking of re visiting some I have ditched over the past months. Like some others I have concentrated only on accounts paying 6% and above. With variable rates now dropping at pace, I’m thinking should I open the 5.5% fixed accounts like Halifax, Lloyds and BOS even if I only put the minimum £25 in a month for now. It doesn’t make a lot of sense just now but could, come 2024 any thoughts.

I'd say it would be wise to do that as they're still better than EA accounts.

Yes, it makes sense in the current environment.  All predictions are pointing out on rate reductions across the board. I'm now on "minimum 5.5% strategy". The only one I'm reluctant to open is Coventry because the withdrawal rule is a bit too tough for this rate.
